The story behind a successful advocacy campaign is not all gold and glory. Come hear about the innovative strategies, the trials and the errors that taught panelists what works to make an advocacy campaign successful. Panelists will tell the stories of what they did to move stubborn Councilmembers, to raise the profile of their issue, to change public perceptions, and to ultimately win.

We will also explore how these successful advocates tried to stay accountable to DC communities who were impacted by their legislative and budget policies. The panelists will share what worked (or didn’t) and what we can learn so that we do better as we continue our advocacy into the future. Join us for a panel discussion on:
